Hey, I'm Eli, a queer Kenyan writer who survives on slow burn tension, emotional chaos, and the kind of romance that starts soft and ends unforgettable.
I love coming-of-age journeys, complex characters, small moments that hit too hard, and stories where fear and tenderness keep colliding. My writing leans into intimacy, vulnerability, and the long road it takes to grow into yourself.
If you're here for yearning, layered emotions, and characters who feel real enough to argue with... welcome. You've found your corner.
